|
Protons, Neutrons and Electrons |
| Identify the mass and charge of an electon | Mass is almost zero Charge is -1 |
| Identify the mass and charge of a proton | Mass is 1 Charge is 1 |
| Identify the mass and charge of a neutron | Mass is 1 Charge is 0 |
|
Explain how an insulator is charged

|
Rubbing the insulator caused friction which transfers electrons onto, or from, the object. |
| State the charge on an object that has gained electrons |
Negative

|
| State the charge on an object that has lost electrons | Positive |
| Describe the interaction between like charges e.g. positive - positive or negative - negative | Repel |
| Describe the interaction between unlike charges e.g. positive - negative | Attract |
|
Explain the process of earthing

|
Earthing removes excess charge by allowing electrons to flow onto or from an object |
| Explain the advantages of electrostatic paint sprays and insecticide sprays | The droplets have like charges so they repel and spread out. It will also be attracted to uncharged objects. |
| Describe the dangers of electrostatic charges when refuelling a vehicle | A spark can ignite the fuel causing an explosion |
| Identify the units of charge | |
| Define electric current | The rate of flow of charge or The flow of electrons |
|
Identify the type of current supplied by cells and batteries

|
Direct current
